SPRING SESSION SUMMER SESSION
STATUTORY HOLIDAYS
Group programs are not scheduled to take place on statutory holidays or weekends when a statutory holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, and program fees have been calculated accordingly. Exceptions include group fitness classes. Holiday weekend schedules and hours will be posted online at arbutusclub.com.
CLUB COACHING POLICY
The use of professional instructors or coaches from outside the Club is not permitted. Only those who have been contracted by the Club may teach on Club premises.
PROGRAM FEES
All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the program’s duration. Workshops and short-term activities will be billed in the month they occur.
TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2024
— to SUNDAY, SUNDAY JUNE 23, 2024
TUESDAY, JULY 2, 2024
— to SUNDAY, SUNDAY AUGUST 25, 2024
ACTIVITY & SPORT ASSOCIATION FEES
Some program areas are required to have members register with their provincial sport governing association for the purpose of insurance coverage to participate in tournaments and events. These fees may be billed seasonally or yearly and are listed on the program pages for which they apply. Some areas also have activity fees, billed seasonally or yearly, and are used to pay for special equipment, gifts, awards, seasonal parties, events, and other program enhancements.
UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY
Children underage for a specific program must receive approval from the Coordinator/Director of that program before registering. If permission is given, underage participants must register with the Recreation Services Desk directly so that we may bypass the established age restriction. Please note that receiving advanced approval does not guarantee a spot in the program.
general info
PROGRAM APPROVALS
Some programs require approval from the Coordinator/Director of the activity area, prior to registering, to ensure participants are at a required level for the class. If a member is incorrectly registered for a class, the Coordinator/Director reserves the right to remove them and recommend another class more suitable for their age or skill level. If an alternative class is not available, the member will be removed from the class.
REGISTRATION WAITLISTS
During the initial days of each registration period, it is recommended to make use of the wait list feature if you do not secure your preferred program dates and times. As space becomes available for the program, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered and notified by email. If you no longer want a spot in the class, please remove yourself or your child from the waitlist, or from the class upon receipt of the notification. You may also contact the Registration Desk at registration@arbutusclub.com to cancel any classes or waitlists.
MISSED/MAKE-UP CLASSES
If you miss a class for any reason, it is the decision of the Coordinator/Director of each activity area, as to whether they can accommodate a make-up lesson. Most activity areas do not offer this option as it is disruptive to participants registered and is challenging for staff to accommodate.
CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS
A parent/caregiver (16yrs+) must always accompany children under 8 years old while in the Club. You must drop off and pick up your child for all programs as children under 8 years of age will not be released from the program on their own.
ALLERGY AWARE
Recreation Services Staff are allergy aware and request that parents do not pack snacks for their children that contain common allergens, such as peanuts. If your child has an allergy that you would like us to be aware of, please contact the Recreation Services Desk and we will notify the instructor.
GUEST POLICY
Recreation programs and events are restricted to members only, unless otherwise noted. A limited number of guests may be permitted to attend 25 Year Club events, special youth events and various one-time workshops, if space permits before the event date.
PROGRAM FEEDBACK
We welcome your feedback about our programs, camps, services, and events at any time in person, by phone or by email. We also have an evaluation form available online at arbutusclub.com/services/recreation if you would like to complete it anonymously.
ACTIVITY COMMITTEES
The success of our activity areas is in large part due to the contributions made by volunteer Committee members. If you would like to participate in one of our Activity Committees, please fill out an application form available at Club Reception or email Craig Mercer at cmercer@arbutusclub.com.

• Developing Feel for the Water: The clinics work on developing the swimmer’s feel for the water and building a strong kick for maximum propulsion.

SPLIT SECOND BASKETBALL
Experienced Split-Second Basketball coaches create a fun, challenging and supportive environment to help young athletes find their path through basketball. The goal of the program is for players to have fun, create great habits, and master fundamental basketball skills. Our players do more than just ‘play’ basketball. We break the game down into six Split Second habits and teach the little technical details that matter the most. Then we practice, teach, practice, teach, practice... until great habits are developed.
To successfully participate in class, players must be able to listen to and follow instructions from the coaches. Any players not yet ready to do this will be asked to return to the program once they are able to do so.

Students discover their individual artistic voices in a creative environment with the guidance of an internationally recognized faculty. The personal attention encourages students to mature as dancers, grow as individuals and enrich their passion for the art form.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Students enrolling in dance, with the exception of preschool classes, are required to make a full-year commitment as classes are progressive and depend on weekly development. Class placement is determined at the teacher’s discretion.
PROGRAM ATTENDANCE
While we want our students to have fun, dancing is a commitment. Students registered in dance are expected to remain in the program for the full term. We ask that parents ensure students arrive on time, attend every class, and inform us in advance by email at mhershfield@arbutusclub.com if they have to miss a class for medical, illness or other reasons.
SMALL CLASSES
All classes require a minimum of five participants to run at the listed price. If a class has fewer students, the teacher may offer the class with an additional charge.
BALLET EXAMS
Exams motivate both serious and recreational dancers to develop discipline, confidence and a sense of achievement. Students are examined by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London, England, in either the Imperial Society of Dance or the Cecchetti Society. Usually held in June and administered by international examiners, exams involve additional expenses such as entry fees and outfits. Instructors determine which dancers are ready to be examined. Examination candidates must register for at least two ballet classes per week from the grade one level. Students on pointe require a minimum of three lessons per week.

BRIAN HIEBERT
Volleyball Head Coach brian@smashvball.comBrian is passionate about creating positive experiences for children and coaches so that they learn teamwork, humility, and self-confidence through volleyball.

At 20 years of age, he moved to Toronto to train with the national team and compete on the world stage in beach volleyball. A student of the game, he is now an international referee with a goal to represent Canada at the 2024 and 2028 Olympics.

PHYSICAL LITERACY PROGRAMS (6-8 YRS)
I CAN PLAY! (6-8 YRS)
The Arbutus Club I CAN PLAY physical literacy program improves kids’ ability to move on land, in/on water, in air and across ice. Kids learn to move to music, improve their agility, balance, coordination, and speed along with the ability to catch, jump, run, swim, and throw. Most of all the goal of the program is to develop a positive attitude towards physical activity, improve executive function skills, and provide participants with the tools they need to be confident and competent to play a wide range of sports so that they can say… “I CAN PLAY”!
The I CAN PLAY program is designed for all levels of ability. If you have no athletic experience this program helps you develop the tools you need to set you on course, or if you play competitive sports this program will help you become a better athlete to improve your sport performance.
Please note: This is a coed program and groups will be participating in the program together. We have separate registrations to ensure that participation is balanced between boys and girls.
